35 Times Kate Middleton Wore a Hat Better Than Anyone Else
While Kate Middleton's hair is shiny and incredible, we still love seeing part of it covered up in a hat ... because, well, nobody wears a hat quite like the Duchess of Cambridge. Kate's a mix of Mary Tyler Moore and Diane Keaton -- and yet, still has a style all her own. Her royal obligations require her to be dressed to the nines at all times, and this of course, means head accessories. And not just any accessory, this means perfectly crafted hats made by the most exclusive milliners.
Her hats have that British flair, of course. They seem to come with a cuppa and are often paired with a pastel. But Kate goes bold with her headpieces as well. She knows how to mix it up, and part of being an iconic style figure is knowing when to be a little out there and when to tone it down. It's all about the occasion, after all!
So, whether she's at a royal engagement with the queen or just out with her handsome husband Prince William, Kate has the right hat for the event. We'd give anything to take a look inside that glorious closet of hers. But alas, we must wait until she decides to grace us with another hatted look. We can be patient -- but not for long!
If you can't wait for the next time the duchess steps out in a fabulous hat, we've assembled some of her best accessorized moments for your viewing pleasure.
Fifty Shades of Grey
Kate is so cool she can wear a hat -- or style of hat -- more than once and it always looks fresh. She's proven this with her skinny jeans, striped boat shirt, and wedges. This gray ribbon hat seems slightly darker than her other one. I love how it sits perfectly forward.
Coordinating With the Queen
Kate opted for a similar color palette to Queen Elizabeth for Easter services in 2019. Although Kate's hat is this side of gray while the queen's is that side of blue, they both have that steely vibe, and both are perfectly suited to their wearers.
Coordinating With Charlotte
During a 2016 royal tour of Canada, Kate dressed her toddler daughter in an adorable blue dress, which coordinated perfectly with her own. Her hat even has stylized blue flowers on it -- and Char's dress is floral print. They are too adorable.
